The law says a seperate bedroom is required for:

• A Couple
• Someone who is 16 or over
• Two children of same same sex under 16
• Two children of either sex under 10
• A child under 16


Looking at the Local Housing Allowance Rates (used to be Housing Benefit Allowance) I don't see how anyone without kids could afford to rent in the private sector if unemployed. A couple/single person is only allowed £50 allowance. Judging by the average rents charged, you would have to pay £35 out of your Jobseekers Allowance. Maybe I have worked it out wrong, I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Ridiculous.

My boys will be in the same room until one of them leaves home. Unless they are going to pay for an extra bedroom for me.

Technically all homeowners who allow their children to share bedrooms after a certain age are breaking the law. Wonder how the government are going to police that one. You'll be getting fined for not having the correct living facilities. Oh I can see it now. Some muppet in government is thinking it's a good way to screw us even further.

Much obliged for the correction but after undergoing a carpal tunnel operation on both hands I was sent for after 13 weeks.

Maybe I was just unlucky.

I repeat, big brother is not galloping towards us, he spends too much time checking the rules to do any good in his posts!

I didnt think that counted either, tho it would prompt a housing crisis as formally a 2 up 2 down would surfice for 2 same gender siblings now would mean a 3 bed house allocation & so forth ....there is a shortage of 4+ bed houses in circulation of the social rented circle for definate!

Why a fourth bedroom? Which extra gender, are you catering for?

I thought until puberty there were only two genders?
